Italian exploitation culture is literature and films in the "low culture" tradition originating from Italy, cultural products which address the prurient interests of its audience. A quick glance at Italian society on the one hand, which its firm anchor in puritan Christianity, and its abundance on the other hand of graphic exploitation material, quickly reveals its double standards.
In print culture there has been giallo fiction, quickly followed by adult comics, the so-called fumetti neri.
But the nature of Italian prurience is most readily revealed in Italian cinema. Genres such as cannibal films, Decamerotici, Italian horror films, giallo films, mondo films, il sexy, spaghetti westerns, sword and sandal films all went a bit further than contemporary products of European exploitation.
